You’re not wrong, I have a Freud that does the exact same thing. I wish like $%^& I could remember what I did to correct it though. Not much help I know, but maybe there’s some comfort in company. I’ll go down to the shop and have a look. Maybe it will jog this tired brain of mine.

Try lubricating the motor where it slides in the base. I use white lithium grease on mine.
